Our Mission
To enrich the character and
leadership development of each person who
has a Manito-wish experience by challenging
them to grow in wisdom, in stature, in
favor with God, and in favor with one another. |
Our Vision
The Manito-wish experience
develops confident, responsible and enlightened
leaders who will improve the world in which
they live. |
 |
Since 1919, Camp Manito-wish YMCA has
been providing outstanding camp and wilderness
tripping experiences. Located on the shore
of Boulder Lake in Boulder Junction Wisconsin,
we are in the heart of the Northwoods surrounded
by hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams and
state forest land - the perfect place to
build skills, memories and friendships
that will last a lifetime. |
